The news of the payouts, reported by the New York Times last October, led to widespread protests on Google’s campus.

Singhal “was allowed to quietly resign at Google in 2016 in the wake of credible allegations of sexual harassment, and was paid millions in severance”.

The new figures were revealed from a shareholder lawsuit against the company. The payments were approved by Google’s Leadership Development and Compensation Committee, according to the lawsuit.

According to CEO Sundar Pichai, Google has so far terminated 48 people for sexual harassment.

“There are serious consequences for anyone who behaves inappropriately at Google.

“In recent years, we’ve made many changes to our workplace and taken an increasingly hard line on inappropriate conduct by people in positions of authority,” the company said in a statement to TechCrunch.
